[Feedback] Updated Blood Elf Models

Barring any unforeseen issues, the next PTR build pushed out will contain the first iteration of the new models for both Male and Female Blood Elves.

While we're excited to share with you our progress on these new models, I do want to stress that the models, textures, and animations are not entirely finished. Bug fixing and iteration can and will occur, and that's where you come in!

We'd like to consolidate all feedback on the Blood Elf model updates to this thread, to make it easier for our Artists and QA team to read over your feedback, concerns, and bug reports. Constructive criticism is the best approach, and detailed, actionable feedback will help us the most!

Known Issues:
Right now, the new models are more or less using the same facial geometry set - as in, all the males will have the same chin, eye shape, nose shape, etc. These are currently slated to be added to the models in an upcoming 6.1 build.

For more information on what Facial Geometry Sets are, refer to the Artcraft posted last year. Please keep in mind that these different customization options are not yet complete when providing your feedback on the new models.

    No, they aren't that bad at all. The main issue is the gear available in Highmaul, the stats are awful for us (Sub and Assassi to some extent) and that makes us look bad, in reality it's just not that far off from other classes. BRF will fix that, sadly the FOTM rerollers from MoP do not understand these things and qq about classes being bad when it's just them, same applies to Warlocks for the most part.

    On Blood Elf female face models (if you haven't seen it already), since I can't post a link yet, pls go to deviantart dot net and search for "New female blood elf model suggestion" by wittywilly.

    + my opinion seeing them in game: during that animation when they stand still, they twist their had way too much, neck would break, and the grinn they make is too much as well, while the other "standing still" animation is a way too much smiling face, it just doesn't look good together. Skin color number 8 is darker than it used to be ( I think it's important to say, because that's the only thing we can't change on existing models). Hair style number 1 is too much bouncy in game, imo.

    Thank you for wanting to hear our thoughts...

    This!

    There are so many qq-ers in any WoW forum, all from different classes. Each class has numerous ways of how to deal with situations, and any class has a niche they're very good at.

You probably should have a clue what you're talking about before you tell someone they're probably not playing their class right. I don't expect to be top dps every fight, but I do think that if I have the same level of gear as say a mage, we should at least be competitive, not 7k dps behind every fight.
    You're a joke. Look again at the rankings that are actually there before putting down a comment such as this one. It shows your lack of skill (7k dps behind LOL).

    Here you'll see see the simmed rankings @ noxxic from a realistic point of single target:
    http://www.noxxic.com/wow/dps-rankings#BiS,real,1

    And here you'll see the rankings of actual raids for MYTHIC raiding, the only raid that classes should be attuned at, since these logs are the only reliable source of information on how a class is able to perform:
    http://www.worldoflogs.com/ranking/eu-us/highmaul/dps/

    Do you see that combat rogues actually perform incredibly well at the mythic raiding logs, while being simmed much lower on single target? And that they're not 7k below any other class on any sim, as you're suggesting? Do I see my class on these logs (Shadow Priest) and am I whining about it?

    People talk out of their ass on forums. And people should see that they're talking shit when it comes to dps / rankings / CC clearings etc.

    Stop your whining. All of you. And enjoy the beautiful new Blood Elfs that have been given to you.

    Apparently Blizz decided to trim the glorious Belf female buns they had in the earlier photos they showed us. That is a real shame! It was a wonderful thing indeed.

    Females definitely have a major horse face in that particular picture (in this post). Vareenah said it better than I could, but apparently you can't quote in a news post discussion thread, so I'll just paste it:

    "+ my opinion seeing them in game: during that animation when they stand still, they twist their had way too much, neck would break, and the grinn they make is too much as well, while the other "standing still" animation is a way too much smiling face, it just doesn't look good together. Skin color number 8 is darker than it used to be ( I think it's important to say, because that's the only thing we can't change to existing models)."

    Belf male looks good, but I think they are still a little too buff.

    Anyway, I feel like the belf models are on the right track!
  1. Moradim's Avatar
    ok after trying more faces out the female seems to have perma-bitch face regardless. I hate to play the "same face" card but it definitely is a problem here. before, a few faces were "pouty" while others were more of a smile/happy face. but regardless which one you pick, they all have the same sneer so to speak. i'd like to see that fixed, the faces arent as distinct no more.
